DE Humidistats and Humidistats are very closely related. The DE model has a normally open switch which opens the power to the thermostat and closes when it reaches a preset humidity level. The Humidistat has a normally closed switch which opens and shuts off power to a dehumidifier when the humdity level reaches a desired level. Dehumidistats work in conjunction with your thermostat, which when AC is running, will dehumidify the ambient air. Humidistats control a standalone humidifier or a "built in the furnace" model. A humidistat in Florida is worthless unless someone has health problems
Now your really confused HUH?
